Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Meridian is a CRM and data intelligence platform for private market investors. The Lead Frontend Engineer will direct frontend architecture and manage the frontend team across the web app, browser and email extensions, and mobile app, while remaining hands-on with complex features and coordinating across product, design, and engineering.

Responsibilities

• Set frontend technical direction. Own architectural standards, patterns, and the code review bar across the web app, Chrome extension, Outlook add-in, and React Native mobile app. The health of the frontend codebase is your direct responsibility
• Manage the team. Run 1:1s, set goals, give feedback, hire, mentor. You own the team's performance and growth
• Own the release process across surfaces. Web app, extensions, and mobile ship on different cadences — including off-cycle deployments and Chrome Web Store/Outlook/App Store review submissions
• Ship the hardest features end-to-end. Stay hands-on. Lead implementation of the most complex, cross-cutting work, partnering with product and design. Push on polish, interaction, and perf — our users are investment professionals and they notice
• Partner across the stack. Coordinate laterally with the Backend, Infra, QA, and AI tech leads. Work closely with our Head of Product and design partners; bring frontend feasibility into design conversations early. You won't write backend code, but you'll read API contracts fluently and debug end-to-end

Skills

• 7+ years building production web applications
• You've shipped across at least two: web apps, browser extensions, email/productivity add-ins, or mobile (React Native preferred)
• Direct people management, including owning 1:1s, performance, hiring, and growth. Formal people management is required, not just informal tech lead experience
• You implement designs faithfully but aren't a pixel-pusher. You push back when an interaction is wrong, and you've shipped polished work you're proud of
• You read API contracts fluently and debug end-to-end without needing handholding
• Must be based in North America
• React Native preferred
• Experience building or scaling React Native apps from early stages
• Background in fintech, private equity, or financial services technology
• Improving frontend performance, build times, or developer experience at scale
